AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions to correct the validation of enumeration indices in ge_put_enum_double(). Users should update to the fixed kernel versions as provided by their distribution. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ASoC SDCA component was resolved, where the function ge_put_enum_double() failed to validate a user-supplied enumeration index before use. This led to an out-of-bounds read of a heap-allocated array, potentially causing a control write. The issue was fixed by adding proper bounds checking before using the index. The vulnerability affects multiple specific Linux kernel versions and has a CVSS score of 7.1, indicating a medium severity. A patch is available to address this issue.
